Accelerators speed up your endeavor and act as guides

In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, you'll find everything you need as an aspiring entrepreneur or self-employed individual. Accelerators play a central role. They offer structured programs (organized by phase and project) with consulting and workshop offerings that can support you all the way to your startup launch. Participation is free but requires an application process.
